Hi, Couldn't see this question asked in the archive so... Why is MAD so slow at detecting the correct length and average bitrate of a track? Surely just reading the Xing VBR tag gets all this info in just the first few hundred bytes of an mp3? It strikes me as quite odd that it takes so long to detect this. WinAmps in-mp3.dll seems to have none of these problems. Cheers.
